Any bet which has a draw option is played for the score at the end of 90 mins (plus stoppage time). The game went to Extra time which is not counted as part of the bet. The score at the end of 90 mins was 1-1 which is a draw.

Thanks!

Asking for a friend :D
Is this ever going to be changed ? it seems unfair that you lose in here the way you would never lose in real life...the final score is the final score at the end of the match even if the match lasts 3 days....

No you're completely wrong there, there are other betting options that would only have 2 outcomes (eg Man Utd or Norwich), but this had an option for a draw, so obviously (obvious to 99.9% of people including those that read the wiki or understand how real life betting works) it was for the result at 90 minutes.

agree with this, it would be like everywhere in the world.

If the 1/2 would work that way only for the first 90 minutes, then odds shouldve been much greater at predicting that and not counting the extra time.
Because you are not getting an option on who wins, and basically all matches that first 90 minutes are draw, it means the only result to that game which would be accepted as a won bet would be if you chose draw even if some other team wins?!!!

Found this online and it kinda applies to all real life bets
All bets are settled on the 90 minute result unless otherwise stated. This includes injury time/stoppage time but not Extra Time and/or Penalties.

For example:
  • Match Betting
  • Correct Score
  • First Goalscorer
  • Last Goalscorer
  • Anytime Goalscorer
  • Half Time / Full Time
  • Under/Over Goals
as well as many others, are all settled based on 90 mins (normal time) only. Extra time/penalties are not included unless specifically stated on the bet.

In some cases we will offer markets specific to Extra Time and/or Penalties and these will be noted in the market/selection name.

To Qualify/To Lift the Trophy

These markets are available in cup competitions where matches may go into Extra-Time or Penalties. Bets are settled on the team progressing to the next round/ winning the competition as applicable. A bet To Qualify or To Lift the Trophy covers all eventualities within the tie, such as the 90-minute Result, Extra Time, Penalties and also the 1st and 2nd legs.

For example, if you placed a bet on England To Qualify against Colombia in the 2018 World Cup knockout stage, this would be classed as a winning bet as England went through to the next stage of the competition via a penalty shootout.

If you simply placed a bet on England to beat Colombia then this would be classed as a losing bet. This is because the normal time result ended in a 1-1 Draw, however England went through to the next stage as they won on penalties.

Injury Time

Injury time is still included in match betting - even though the market is commonly referred to as "90 minute" betting, it is to make the distinction between normal time and extra time. For the Colombia v England match example, despite Colombia's equaliser coming in the 93rd minute, it counts as normal time and so the result was a draw (1-1)


I do think that this should be stated in the betting option with our bookie as well. As long as the information the bookie is taking from API's this information is public for us to use as well. This will give a better overview of the odds and bets in the same time

They already have these bets as well, you’re clearly not familiar with what goes on in the bookie, but seem to want to say it’s wrong. Do some research.
